How To Effectively Treat Wrinkles

Laser Resurfacing

Dreamstime

Laser resurfacing is used to reduce wrinkles and other irregularities of the skin, including acne scars and blemishes. Individuals who can benefit from laser resurfacing treatment for wrinkles include those who have wrinkles and fine lines on their foreheads, around their eyes, and around their mouths. The technique isn't recommended for use with stretch marks, though, and it might not work well for individuals with very dark-toned skin. During a laser resurfacing treatment, short and concentrated beams of light will be pulsed at the irregular area. Irregularities will be removed one layer at a time. Other names for the procedure include laser vaporization, laser peels, and lasabrasion. Two commonly used lasers are carbon dioxide lasers and erbium lasers. CO2 laser resurfacing techniques have been used for multiple years to treat skin issues. Erbium laser resurfacing has been designed specifically to treat and remove wrinkles on the chest, neck, hands, or face. This type of laser tends to have fewer overall side effects than the CO2 laser.
